These temples especially the ones in the western group of temples are well preserved and are wonderful examples of the best temple architecture. One thing that is really unique in Khajuraho is that daily life in contemporary time is depicted beautifully in sculptures on the walls. Gives the best historical evidence of how liberated and equal partners women were to men in the Sanatana Dharma culture prior to Islamic invasions. One has to get over the superficial view of eroticism to get to the real meaning behind the sculptures and get the concept of transforming sexual energy into spiritual energy. A good guide with a spiritual understanding of the temple sculptures would be very helpful.

Such an amazing experience. The exterior structure of Kandariya Mahadev is based on a main tower (shikhara), the temple's highest point, which symbolizes Mount Kailash, Shiva's Himalayan mountain home. This main tower is surrounded by 84 smaller spires (urushringas). The whole building is made of sandstone, with a granite foundation.

We visited Khajurao a couple of days ago and I was simply blown away by the beauty of the 1000 to 800 year stone temples. This is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is meticulously maintained by the Archeological Survey of India. The exterior and interior carvings are simply stunning and as beautiful as described in guide books. We had a very knowledgeable guide named Sanjay Khare. +919425143587. I'd reccomend a stop over at this amazing place if you have time on an India trip.

Babu, the owner of this company was in touch with us from beginning to end. His response was prompt and professional, above all his behaviour was extremely polite and courteous. The rates quoted by him were honest and fair leaving no room for dissatisfaction. For 3 days he provided us impeccable service for long distance, within city and safari in Panna Tiger reserve. Honestly he has provided one of the finest service we have received accross the country far exceeding our expectations. We wish him all the success in his endeavour.

Khajuraho is a small town, not many people, and it is the cleanest place we experienced in India. What famous here is the sex temple, which can be divided into 3 groups, the western group of temples (11 temples), the eastern group of temples (3 temples), and the southern temple (1 temple). Khajuraho group of temples are probably the sexiest temples in the world because of the erotic sculptures.
